Hello Codeforces,

Today I'm going to talk about something that is often overlooked in competitive setups in academics and especially STEM, which is Mental Health. During my competitive years and my life, I often felt very bad about where I was standing and looking back, I realize that things could have gone much better for me if I were to take the right steps.

Over the years, I developed pieces of advice that can help you overcome these issues and while it is not by any means professional advice, it can be very helpful as far as managing the stress of competing at the very top goes. It is something I give a lot of importance to nowadays when coaching people or when I give people advice in general.

Here is the link to the video.

I would also like to thank everyone who helped me made this video, by listening to my ideas and sharing their stories, which helped me tell things from a broader perspective as far as this topic goes. Their support has been invaluable and I am forever grateful to them opening up, since this can be something very difficult to do nowadays.

I hope you find the video useful and let's have a meaningful discussion about this topic, because I believe we as a community can do so much better than the increasing toxicity that has been noticed by many other people before me, including numerous blogs and commenters.
